It sounds doable to me. I'd do it with [textfile] reading your playlist
which passes each line (after some message mangling) to a [readsf~]. My
only concern is the chosen file format '.pls'. Pd (natively) is pretty
bad in string parsing. If you could use your own format it would make
things a lot easier. I don't know if you have any constraints there.

The simplest format of such a text file might be as an example:

filename1.wav
filename2.wav
whateverfile.wav
